"Eight stories in which Mac, or rather Macartney Valentine O'Neill Barry, who is four years old in the first and six in the last, plays a leading part. Indeed he is quite a little deus ex macJiina, or rather a good fairy in the affairs of his elders. Mac is neither a paragon nor a youthful prodigy. He is just a natural child, with a child's love of mischief and "grubbiness," and full of quaint sayings. Bright and genial in tone. - (Press Notices)."
